file not found error !!

[Manpreet Singh <ms...@india-today.com>]

Hi,

im writing a small servlet which opens a file.
I have added the following context path in the server.xml:

<Context path="/sam" docBase="webapps/samsung" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>

The code that opens a file is as follows:
FileReader fr=new FileReader("form.html");

Te file is placed in /usr/local/jakarta-home/dist/tomcat/webapps/samsung/ directory.

when i run the servlet in the following way :
http://mydomain.com/sam/myservlet 
it gives the file not found exception.
I have tried putting the file in all directories from webapps onwards.

Any help is appreciated .
Thanks,
Manpreet.

Manpreet,
use this:
FileReader fr=new
FileReader(getServletContext().getRealPath("/form.html"));
